Memorial House and Colonial Kitchen Complex, Off of State Route 3, Warsaw, Richmond, Virginia

Significance: The Memorial House and Colonial Kitchen were constructed in 1931 to recreate the domestic setting in which George Washington was born. They are representative of the home quarters of a moderately wealthy planter of the 1730s, however the buildings are not true replicas of the original Washington plantation. The reconstructed plantation allows for the interpretation of the culture and social standing of the Washington family during George Washington's youth.

The dwelling in which George Washington was born burned in 1779. The site was excavated in 1936. Afterwards the foundation was recovered to preserve it. Crushed oyster shells on the ground indicate the location of the site, show the overall of the building's footprint, and outline the shape of the foundation.
